The former British Ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, has been arrested by the British Police amid allegations that he passed confidential government information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement released on Monday by The London’s Metropolitan Police which began investigating Mandelson earlier this month said in a Statement on Monday that “Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office.”
Though the British Police did not name Mandelson as their rules prohibit identifying suspects before charges are brought.
However, police confirmed that he is a “former government minister” linked to properties searched in Wiltshire and Camden, north London.
The Police added that the former minister was arrested on Monday and taken to a police station in London for formal questioning.
It will be recalled that In September 2025, Mandelson was dismissed from his ambassadorial post in Washington after details of his relationship with Epstein emerged.
Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party the same day it was revealed that police were investigating allegations that he may have shared sensitive government information.
